This was a joke, nothing is up. Hedgehog cruelty is, in fact, allowed.
No morons though. ;P

Adam.

A joke like this isn't a very good idea when you have the reality of someone actually getting a warning for calling another person a moron on the forums.

THAT is the joke.

i don't feel that 'what is this' should mean 'i must move it'

for what reason, Torley? this was an on topic discussion about an LL subject. Are you required to get it? FUCK.

despite the public good of letting this drop, i'm going to continue to ask: why was this moved to the sandbox, and whom should i contact about arbitrary movements?

I quite agree.

IMO, it was moved because it was embarrassing, not because it was off topic. My (admittedly biased) take is that it was moved because it was embarrasing to the Lindens, who, for an entire day's worth of police blotter activity during an extensive/pervasive period of abuse reporting by its residents, could do nothing more constructive than wielding the (however technically correct) letter of the law against a long time resident.

I don't dispute that the pejorative in question, however justifiable its application, was inappropriate in the context of the TOS. What I, and (I suspect) many others find objectionable is that given the current chaos and frustration on the grid, that this was the only action on the Police Blotter for that particular 24 hour period.

Consequently, the action taken against this person (and the subsequent moving of the relevant thread) lends creedence to the impression that LL is not only powerless against the griefers, but that they are also in a mode that might be described best as 'damage control'.

Just my 2 $L worth, of course.

and paid.

This thread has been moved to on-topic, as it's insightful and relevent.
How about it, jerks?

Taco, sweetie, don't you know you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar? Make with the nice.... ok - at least don't call them jerks :)

They probably won't move it back because
1) it is an embarrassing
2) (most important of all) ALL THE THREADS TACO RUBIO STARTS IN GENERAL GET MOVED TO THE SANDBOX (what, didn't you get the memo?)

I prefer to call myself 'generally bright'. Those mensha fuckers are snooty.

But at least they spell Mensa properly. Or was that just a few too many Guinesses?
